Update On Machine Runs Immediately, Update On Linked Server Takes 8 Minutes

Jan 2, 2008

What's up with this?

This takes like 0 secs to complete:

update xxx_TableName_xxx
set d_50 = 'DE',modify_timestamp = getdate(),modified_by = 1159

where enc_id in

('C24E6640-D2CC-45C6-8C74-74F6466FA262',

'762E6B26-AE4A-4FDB-A6FB-77B4782566C3',

'D7FBD152-F7AE-449C-A875-C85B5F6BB462')

but From linked server this takes 8 minutes????!!!??!:

update [xxx_servername_xxxx].xxx_DatabaseName_xxx.dbo.xxx_TableName_xxx
set d_50 = 'DE',modify_timestamp = getdate(),modified_by = 1159

where enc_id in

('C24E6640-D2CC-45C6-8C74-74F6466FA262',

'762E6B26-AE4A-4FDB-A6FB-77B4782566C3',

'D7FBD152-F7AE-449C-A875-C85B5F6BB462')


What settings or whatever would cause this to take so much longer from the linked server?

Edit:
Note) Other queries from the linked server do not have this behavior. From the stored procedure where we have examined how long each query/update takes... this particular query is the culprit for the time eating. I thought it was to do specefically with this table. However as stated when a query window is opened directly onto that server the update takes no time at all.

2nd Edit:
Could it be to do with this linked server setting?
Collation Compatible
right now it is set to false? I also asked this question in a message below, but figured I should put it up here.

How Can I Update Linked Server (AS400 DB)?

May 16, 2000

Hi!

Please

I got the following Error Message when trying to update a AS400 Database
"(Table Name) on (Data Source) not valid for operation"

My question is? Does Sql Server require journaling the files? How Should I change this option?. Please Help!

I did try to fix the above error, but then I got a new message:

OLE DB provider 'MSDASQL' supplied inconsistent metadata. The object '(user generated expression)' was missing expected column 'Bmk1000'.
Could you help me?

I will appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance

Linked Server Update Error

Jan 20, 2004

Does Anyone know what this means?

I run the query in the attached file on multiple servers with success but some of them refuse to cooperate. I've tried recreating the linked server on the problem servers but this doesn't help. All I want to do is check db file size and free space and get it to work. Why does it have to be so damn complicated?

Any ideas welcome - including an entirely different way of doing this.

The script and table definitions in question are attached

Linked Server Update Problem

Mar 15, 2004

I am getting an error trying to update a table in DB2 via SQL Server using a Linked Server. I can query the table using OPENQUERY but not via four-part name.

I can do this...

SELECT

Select * from OpenQuery(db2link, 'Select frst_nm from yccfssc9.person where id_prsn = 2')

When I try to Query using four-part names I get the following error...

7399 OLE DB Provider 'MSDASQL' reported an error. The provider does not support the necessary method.

UPDATE

When I try to update using this...

Update OpenQuery(db2link, 'Select frst_nm from yccfssc9.person where id_prsn=2') Set frst_nm = 'Fred'

I get the following error...

The OLE DB provider 'MSDASQL' indicates that the object has no columns.

When I try to update using four part names I get the error that says that the provider does not support the necessary method.

OTHER INFO

I was originially using version 6.1 of the db2 client (db2odbc.dll) but tried the 7.1 client and got the same error.

I believe we are using version 6.1 of db2 connect.

The mainframe db2 is version 7.0 release 1.0

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I referenced Microsoft Knowledge Base Article #270119 to get the workarounds that I attempted...

Slow Update With A Linked Server

I have a linked server set up on my local SQL 2000 instance. I try and run an update against an SQL 2005 database and it take 29 seconds. I checked the execution plan and it says it takes the entire time on the Remote Scan. Is there something I need to do to speed this up? There is an index on the PK that I am searching against.

Linked Server Update Statement

Jan 11, 2008



I've got the output from a cursor that generates the following sql statement.


Update SERVERNAME.DATABASENAME.dbo.TABLENAME set [update] = 'Y', status = NULL, completed = NULL where trigger_id = 10255

The statement generates the following error if the statement is run remotely

Msg 8180, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

Statement(s) could not be prepared.

Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 1

Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'update'.


But the statement executes without error as formatted if run directly on the linked server.

Both servers are running 2000 sp 3a. The servers will be converted to 2005/2008 without patching to sp4.

Remote Update Having A Linked Server Takes Forever To Execute

Oct 17, 2006

UPDATE CD SET col1=SR.col1,col2=SR.col2,col3=SR.col3,col4=SR.col4,col5=SR.col5,col6=SR.col6,col7=SR.col7,

col8=SR.col8,col9=SR.col9,col10=SR.col10

FROM LNKSQL1.db1.DBO.Table1 CD

join Table2 USRI on USRI.col00 = CD.col00

join table3 SR on USRI.col00 = SR.col00

Here, I'm trying to tun this from an instance and do a remote update. col00 is a primary key and there is a clustered index that exists on this column. When I run this query, it does a 'select * from tabl1' on the remote server and that table has about 60 million rows. I don't understand why it would do a select *... Also, we migrated to SQL 2005 a week or so back but before that everything was running smooth. I dont have the execution plan from before but this statement was fast. Right now, I can't run this statement at all. It takes about 37 secs to do one update. But if I did the update on a local server doing remote joins here, it would work fine. When I tried to show the execution plan, it took about 10 mins to show up an estimated plan and 99% of the time was spent on Remote scan. Please let me know what I can do to improve my situation. Thank you

Remote Scan On Linked Server - Fast SELECT/Slow UPDATE

Aug 14, 2001

In an ASP, I have a dynamically created SQL statement that amounts to "SELECT * FROM Server1.myDB.dbo.myTable WHERE Col1 = 1" (Col1 is the table's primary key). It returns the data immediately when executed.

However, when the same record is updated with "UPDATE Server1.myDB.dbo.myTable SET Comments = 'blah blah blah' WHERE Col1 = 1", the page times out before the query can complete.

I watched the program in Profiler, and I saw on the update that sp_cursorfetch was being executed as an RPC once per each row in the table. In a table of 78000 records, the timeout occurs well before the last record is fetched, and the update bombs.

I can run the same statements in Query Analyzer from a linked server and have the same results. The execution plan shows that a Remote Query is occurring on the select that returns 1 row, and a Remote Scan is taking place on the update scanning 78000 rows (I guess this is where all the sp_cursorfetch calls are happening...?).

How can I prevent the Remote Scan? How can I prevent the execution of the RPC sp_cursorfetch for each row in the remote table?

Thank you!

Transact SQL :: How To Build Dynamic WHERE Clause In Openquery To Linked Database

Jul 17, 2015

I'd like to modify the dates within this where clause to be dynamic, building the date depending on the current year, but everything I try doesn't seem to be syntactically correct.

SELECT *
FROM Openquery(LS_CIS, 'select * from BI_WRKFLW_TASKS where (BI_EVENT_DT_TM>=''1/1/2011'' and (BI_NEEDED_DT_TM>=''1/1/2011''))OR (BI_EVENT_DT_TM>=''1/1/2011'' and BI_NEEDED_DT_TM is null)') AS derivedtbl_1
I'd like to replace ''1/1/2011''  in the where clause with something like:
CAST(CAST(YEAR (GETDATE())-4 AS varchar) + '-' + CAST(01 AS varchar) + '-' + CAST(01 AS varchar) AS DATETIME)

SQL Server 2012 :: Create Dynamic Update Statement Based On Return Values In Select Statement

Jan 9, 2015

Ok I have a query "SELECT ColumnNames FROM tbl1" let's say the values returned are "age,sex,race".

Now I want to be able to create an "update" statement like "UPATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race" dynamically and execute this UPDATE statement. So, if the next select statement returns "age, sex, race, gender" then the script should create "UPDATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race + gender" and execute it.

In Dot net 2.0 we change using SQLDataSource to Conect with SQLDB.
Now for My case ,the Select SQL is dynamic when differnece user and parameters to the page, So if I want to Update the data input by user,then I must give Update/insert/delelte SQL to SQLDatasource's InsertCommand /UpdateCommand/DeleteCommand . 
How to Generate the Insert/update/delete command for the SQLDataSource ? as in dot net 1.1 can use SQLCommandBuilder to generate it,but SQLCommandBuilder  just support DataAdeptor not for SQLDataSource, Could any body know how to do it when the SelectCommand is dynamic and need to update data back to DB after edit?

Dynamic Select/Update Statement Possible?

Would it be possible to retrieve a "dynamically" named field from a table by using an input parameter?

For example, if a table has fields named Semester1, Semester2, Semester3, Semester4, and I was lazy and only wanted to create one stored procedure for all semesters could I do the following...

ALTER PROCEDURE u_sp_x
@semester int
AS
Select Semester@semester
From ThisTable

Just curious.

Table Update With Dynamic Data

Apr 23, 2008



OK, I'm trying to add some audit type information to a set of tables in my database. This involves adding 2 columns and sticking some data into those two columns. The columns themselves are added successfully, but I'm having troubles sticking any data into them - I'm getting a lot of errors. What I want to do is put a single character code in one column, and a datetime in the second. Here's the SQL I'm trying...




Code Snippet
SELECT @SQL = N'UPDATE ' + QUOTENAME(@TableName) + ' ' +
N' SET TRANSACTION_CODE = ''' + @TxCode +
N''', EFFECTIVE_DATE = ''' + @TxDateTime + ''';'
SELECT @Params = N'@TxCode varchar(1), @TxDateTime datetime'
EXEC sp_executesql @SQL, @Params, @TxCode, @TxDateTime





But this errors out with:

Msg 241, Level 16, State 1, Line 64

Conversion failed when converting datetime from character string.

I tried changing the datetime column to varchar, and CONVERT(varchar(30),@TxDateTime). That gets rid of the above error, but replaces it with the following (twice, I might add - one for each column?):

Msg 213, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

Insert Error: Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition.

Any help is appreciated - let me know if you need more info.

Spooky Semi-dynamic Sql Update Statement

Nov 9, 2006

Hi,
I rewrote my working Sql statement to prevent Sql Injections. I copied some code I used in another project but this time I can't get it to work, possibly because it's an update statement and not an Insert one, which I used before.
Sorry for the boring question, but does anyone have a clue what's wrong with the syntax?
Here's the original code (I changed the parameter names for clarity and security):
    Dim conn As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("MyConnectionString").ConnectionString)    Dim strSQL As String = "Update MyTable Set " & typ & num & " = '" & pname & "' WHERE personID = " & fid    Dim cmd As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand(strSQL, conn)
Here's the code from codebehind:
    Dim conn As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("MyConnectionString").ConnectionString)    Dim strSQL As String = "Update MyTable Set (" & typ & num & ") Values (@" & typ & num & ") WHERE personID = " & fid    Dim cmd As New SqlCommand(strSQL, conn)    With cmd.Parameters       .Add(New SqlParameter("@" & typ & num, pname))    End With    TestLabel.Text = strSQL & "        " & pname    cmd.Connection.Open()    cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()    cmd.Connection.Close()   
Here's my test message; first the sql, then the new string to be inserted:
Update MyTable Set (picturename) Values (@pname) WHERE personID = 2       2_adin.jpg  
Here's my error code:
Line 1: Incorrect syntax near '('. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Line 1: Incorrect syntax near '('.
Source Error:
Line 489:            TestLabel.Text = strSQL & "  " & pnameLine 490:            cmd.Connection.Open()Line 491:            cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()Line 492:            cmd.Connection.Close()Line 493:        End If 
I could understand it if I'd get an error in VWD Express for using dynamic variables, but they work correctly in the text message so I'm clueless. Any help is deeply appreciated!
Pettrer (VB, Sql Server 2000)

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Generate Dynamic Update Statement

Aug 14, 2014

I'm trying to generate an update statement based off select statement results. A very basic example,

SELECT ListID FROM DListing WHERE Status = 2Results return 3 rows.
1234
2345
3456

How can I take those results and turn them into WHERE criteria for UPDATE statement?

Generated UPDATE statement should look like this.

UPDATE DListing SET Status = 1 WHERE ListID IN (1234,2345,3456)

I have started by creating a temp table to hold my SELECT results, but I don't know how to get those results into format for IN condition. Right now I get 3 UPDATE statements with 1 ListID in each IN condition.

CREATE TABLE #TempStatusUpdate(ListID INT)
INSERT INTO #TempStatusUpdate
SELECT ListID FROM DListing WHERE Status = 2
SELECT 'UPDATE DListing SET Status = 1 WHERE ListID IN (' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(30),ListID) + ') AND Status = 2'
DROP TABLE #TempStatusUpdate
